| ~ Leon S. Kennedy after first encountering T-00 in Resident Evil 2 (Remake). |
T-00 was a Tyrant T-103 which was sent into Raccoon City during the 1998 Raccoon City Destruction Incident. He serves as the secondary antagonist of Resident Evil 2 and it's 2019 remake, a major antagonist in The Darkside Chronicles and a minor antagonist in the non-canon spinoff game Operation Raccoon City.
T-00 was one of six within the T-103 series that were airlifted into the city, and was given instructions to recover a G-Virus sample from the pendant of Sherry Birkin and kill surviving officers of the Raccoon Police Department where it began a hunt of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield who were trying to escort Sherry to safety.
History
T-00 was one of the mass produced T-103 Tyrants, created on Sheena Island, an island owned by Umbrella that was aptly named the Tyrant Plant. To get rid of the high incompatibility ratio common among Tyrants, the T-103's were given an adrenal neurotransmitter taken from the Locus Ceruleus. Production continued until the Sheena Island facility was destroyed.
Mission Preparation
Following the demise of the UBCS, Article 12 of Umbrella's Internal Emergency Procedures was enacted, and all materials and personnel still within the city were placed under the command of Colonel Sergei Vladimir. When it was discovered Delta Force had infiltrated Umbrella's facilities, Col. Vladimir prepared an SH-60B Seahawk for B.O.W. deployment. T-00 was dropped near the Raccoon Police Station with its own assignments. It had two orders: first, to eliminate any police survivors, and second, to locate the G-Virus from the pendant worn by Sherry Birkin.
Exploring the station, T-00 ran into survivors Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy, and stalked between the two on the surface levels and the underground parking garage, where he killed Ben Bertolucci in front of Leon. Over the night, T-00 also stalked Redfield for a time in the streets of Raccoon City. The Tyrant managed to corner Leon but before he could kill the rookie, he was hit by a SWAT van by another survivor, Ada Wong. However, T-00 survived and tried pushing the van back, only for Ada to detonate explosives inside the vehicle, incapacitating him for a while. Eventually T-00 managed to track down Sherry at the orphanage, just as Claire Redfield had found her as well, the two fled as soon as the Tyrant slammed the door to the basement open. T-00 followed them down to an elevator and just as the elevator was about to move, T-00 stopped it and wrenched it's doors open. But before he could kill them he was fatally wounded after being stabbed through the chest by "G", who wanted Sherry alive as she was a viable carrier for his parasitic larvae. G ripped a chunk of the Tyrant's body out who passed out from the pain.
Presumably/somehow (It is not certain if this was T-00 or a second T-103 that was sent to check on the lab), T-00 managed to heal itself from it's encounter with the mutated Birkin and stalked Kennedy within NEST as he searched the greenhouse and then followed his escape with the G-Virus when NEST began to self-destruct. During this escape, the Tyrant suffered serious injury, and mutated into his Super Tyrant form and continued it's battle with Leon, who was now unable to kill the Tyrant. However, an Anti-tank rocket was dropped onto the lift by an unknown (Ada Wong) individual and with one blast, ripped apart T-00's upper body, finally killing the Tyrant.
Powers and Abilities
- Superhuman Strength: T-00 possesses superhuman strength, being able to smash through walls without much trouble and quickly incapacitate lesser beings without much effort, as it shoves zombies and other monster out of its way. Due to its profound muscle structure, T-00 can move rather fast when it wants to.
- Superhuman Durability: The T-00 is virtually impervious to small fire arms, but can be temporarily slowed down by stronger weaponry. Whenever the Tyrant catches up to a Claire or Leon and they try to fend him off by stabbing his hand with a knife, the Tyrant does not feel the pain and just casually stares at the damage before removing the knife. Explosions can destroy him.
- Regenerative Healing: Compared to "G", the Tyrant possess an inferior regenerative healing factor. He can easily heal from damage done by small knives or a bullet to the head. However, having his entire torso ripped out by Birkin was able to temporarily incapacitate the Tyrant.
- Regenerative Mutation: If its power limiting coat is lost and has suffered significant damage, T-00 will mutate into a less humanoid form with large claws and a slightly protruding heart. In this form, it can slash its enemies with its claws and move faster, though it is susceptible to explosives, much like the T-002 Tyrant from the first Resident Evil.
- Limited Intelligence: Unlike most beasts infected and enhanced by the T-Virus, the Tyrant has a degree of self awareness and intelligence. The Tyrant was able to follow orders and his mission objectives.
Weaknesses
- Stronger Beings: In the Resident Evil 2 (2019) remake, It is seen that when Birkin slashed though T-00's back and then completely tore though T-00's torso in order to protect his daughter, T-00 could not mutate from this immediately and passed out from the pain. Though (presumably) he managed to heal eventually as Leon encounters him again.
- Explosive Weaponry: An RPG was able to permanently obliterate his torso, arms and head, killing him for good.
